just verifying that angstrom instructions still work

i've been away from my BB for several weeks and want to get back to
installing and running a fresh angstrom download, so please indulge me
and verify that what used to work still works:

  from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/

* grab the rootfs tarball, and latest uImage (2.6.29-r37)

* uImage in SD ptn1, untar rootfs in ptn2

* i don't *think* i need the modules for a basic run, do i?

* u-boot args of:

"console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw
rootfstype=ext3 rootwait".

  and as i recall, the prebuilt angstrom image is already configured
for the pico projector.

  is it still all that simple? or have i forgotten something over the
weeks? thanks.

note that recent uboots default to putting 1024x768 in bootargs for
some reason.

but that shouldn't be an issue if i use the u-boot image from the
angstrom download directory, correct?
